New Testament

1 Kings 7:1-8 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

1. But it took Solomon 13 years to build and complete his own palace.

2. He also built the Forest House of Lebanon: its length was 100 cubits, its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits, built on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

3. It was paneled with cedar above the side chambers, which were on 45 pillars—15 in a row.

4. And there were window frames in three rows, with window opposite window in three ranks.

5. And all the doorways had rectangular frame, and with window opposite to window in three tiers.

6. He also made a portico of columns, 50 cubits long and 30 cubits wide, with a porch in front, and in front of that were pillars and an overhanging roof.

7. He also made the Hall of the Throne where he would judge—the Hall of Justice. It was paneled with cedar from the floor to the ceiling.

8. His house where he would dwell, set farther back of the hall, was of the same construction. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom Solomon had taken to wife.
